Tatenda Taibu was Zimbabwe’s wicket-keeper batsman. Given his small stature, he was extremely agile and quick on his toes. Taibu made his international debut in 2001 at the age of 18. Within two years of his international debut, he was appointed the vice-captain of the national side. Finally, he was appointed the captain of the national side in 2004, making him the youngest Test captain in history.

Taibu was a great batsman who was not afraid of taking the attack to the opposition. He became the 5th Zimbabwean to score 3000 runs when his team took on Kenya during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.

Unfortunately, on 10 July 2012, he decided to retire at the young age of 29 so that he could focus on his life way from cricket. He scored 1,546 runs in Tests and scored 3,393 runs in ODIs. He finished his career as Zimbabwe's fourth-highest run-scorer in ODIs with the second most number for dismissals as a wicket-keeper.
